Abstract—Nowadays applications on internet are growing rapidly, everyone shares their thoughts, feelings, personal data and many more information online, that’s why security is one of the most considerable and important factor in wireless network. Symmetric key Cryptography algorithm is widely used to provide security. In this paper we are implementing symmetric key encryption algorithms in ns2 to compare performance of various symmetric key algorithms with different data types like text and image based on some performance metrics to find out best algorithm to use in future. Keywords—Symmetric key algorithm, AES, DES, BLOWFISH.
